Merge branch 'hackathon' into 'master'
windows-virtio-drivers Edited the windows-virtio-drivers file for the Fedora docs hackathon. File has been reorganized into modules. Asciidoc formatting has been updated. Spelled out several acronyms and made other minor text edits. Added a few overview sentences to provide context for each module. Added links to GPLv2 license text, definition of Caveat Emptor, and the yum page of the Fedora wiki. See merge request !22

How does lack of WHQL signature affect use of these drivers?
|
||||
|
||||
IXME: Lack of WHQL signature on virtio-win packages causes Windows to complain, need to explicitly document how.
|
||||
|
||||
The RPMs from the stable repository are the same driver builds as what
|
||||
is shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. However, the public drivers are not signed with
|
||||
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553976%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[Microsoft's
|

WHQL signature].

= Fedora VirtIO Drivers vs. RHEL VirtIO Drivers
|
||||
|
||||
The RPMs in the *virtio-win-stable* repository are the same driver builds as what is shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. All the Windows binaries are from builds done on Red Hat's internal build system, which are generated using publicly available code. For more details about how the RPM and repo are built, see the https://github.com/crobinso/virtio-win-pkg-scripts[README for this repo].
|
||||
|
||||
The drivers are cryptographically signed with Red Hat's vendor signature. However they are not signed with Microsoft's https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/whql-release-signature[WHQL signature].
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Historically the .iso files shipped on alt.fedoraproject.org did _not_ match the layout of the .iso shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This changed in April 2015.
|
||||
|
||||
The current Fedora RPM/ISO directory structure is laid out to mirror exactly the layout that is shipped with the latest release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is so that users and developers don't seen any differences between the two distros.
|
||||
|
||||
* The .iso directories are named after the driver code directories from the upstream driver git tree.
|
||||
* Below the driver directories, the $winversion/$arch/ directory naming
|
||||
is a Windows convention.
|
||||
* The RPM layout is arbitrary in that it ships the .vfd content in the drivers/ dir, but not many of the other drivers from the .iso.
|
||||
This seems to be an historical oversight and should probably be fixed.

= VirtIO-Win Repo Overview
|
||||
|
||||
There is a yum|dnf repo available via the RPM package manager (RPM) that ships virtio-win packages. You can use these RPMs to install driver binaries and agent installers into the `/usr/share` directory on your host machine. You can then share the bits with Windows VMs running on the host.
|
||||
|
||||
The .repo file provides two different repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
* *virtio-win-stable* - This repository provides builds of virtio-win that roughly correlate to what was shipped with the most recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, meaning these builds have undergone testing and are considered stable. This repo is enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
* *virtio-win-latest* - This repository provides the latest driver builds. The builds may be bug free, development quality, or completely broken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor[Caveat emptor]. This repo is disabled by default.

Fedora cannot ship Windows virtIO drivers because they cannot be built automatically as part of Fedora’s build system: the only way to build Windows virtIO drivers is on a machine running Windows. In addition, shipping pre-compiled sources is generally against Fedora policies. Microsoft does not provide virtIO drivers, you must download them yourself in order to make virtIO drivers available for Windows VMs running on Fedora hosts.

Overview
|
||||
~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
This page describes how to obtain and use virtio drivers for Windows
|
||||
virtual machines running on KVM, and additional software agents for
|
||||
Windows VMs.
|
||||
|
||||
[[yumdnf-repo]]
|
||||
Yum|Dnf Repo
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
There is a yum|dnf repo shipping 'virtio-win' RPMs. The RPMs install
|
||||
driver binaries and agent installers on your host machine into
|
||||
/usr/share. These bits can then be shared with Windows VMs.
|
||||
|
||||
Install the repo file:
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo wget `https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/virtio-win.repo[`https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/virtio-win.repo`]` -O /etc/yum.repos.d/virtio-win.repo`
|
||||
|
||||
Then install the virtio-win package with link:dnf[DNF] or YUM:
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo dnf install virtio-win` +
|
||||
`sudo yum install virtio-win`
|
||||
|
||||
The .repo file provides two different repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
* virtio-win-stable
|
||||
** This provides builds of virtio-win that roughly correlates to what
|
||||
was shipped with the most recent RHEL release, meaning they have
|
||||
received a decent chunk of testing.
|
||||
** This repo is enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
* virtio-win-latest
|
||||
** This provides the latest driver builds. They may be development
|
||||
quality, or bug free, or complete broken. Caveat emptor :)
|
||||
** This repo is disabled by default. If you want to update from
|
||||
virtio-win-stable to the latest bits, do:
|
||||
`sudo yum --enablerepo=virtio-win-latest update virtio-win`
|
||||
|
||||
or with dnf:
|
||||
`sudo dnf --enablerepo=virtio-win-latest upgrade virtio-win`

If you previously used isos from alt.fedoraproject.org, note that these
|
||||
new isos have a different file layout (matching RHEL isos). If you need
|
||||
to access the old isos you can do so
|
||||
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/deprecated-isos/[here].
|
||||
However these isos are deprecated and only kept around for back
|
||||
compatability. No new isos will be added there.

What license are these drivers?
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The drivers are licensed under the GPLv2.
|
||||
|
||||
[[why-arent-the-drivers-shipped-as-part-of-fedora]]
|
||||
Why aren't the drivers shipped as part of Fedora?
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The drivers cannot be shipped as part of Fedora because they can't be
|
||||
built in Fedora's build system; the only way to build the drivers is on
|
||||
a Windows machine. Shipping pre-compiled sources is generally against
|
||||
Fedora policies. There's likely other objections as well.

All the windows binaries are scooped up from builds done on Red Hat's
|
||||
internal build system, which are generated using publicly available
|
||||
code.

[[what-is-the-reasoning-behind-the-rpmiso-layout]]
|
||||
What is the reasoning behind the RPM/ISO layout?
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
For starters, the primary purpose of the RPM/ISO is to mirror exactly
|
||||
the layout that is shipped with the latest RHEL release. This is so
|
||||
user/developers don't have to deal with differences between the two
|
||||
distros.
|
||||
|
||||
(Note: Historically the .iso files shipped on alt.fedoraproject.org did
|
||||
_not_ match the layout of the .iso shipped in RHEL. This changed in
|
||||
April 2015)
|
||||
|
||||
* The .iso directories are named after the driver code directories from
|
||||
the upstream driver git tree. There isn't much more to it than that.
|
||||
* Below the driver directories, the $winversion/$arch/ directory naming
|
||||
is a windows convention.
|
||||
* The RPM layout is kind of arbitrary in that it ships the .vfd content
|
||||
in the drivers/ dir, but not many of the other drivers from the .iso.
|
||||
This seems to be an historical oversight and should probably be fixed.

[[are-these-drivers-signed]]
|
||||
Are these drivers signed?
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
These drivers are cryptographically signed with Red Hat's vendor
|
||||
signature. However they are not signed with
|
||||
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553976%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[Microsoft's
|
||||
WHQL signature].

||||
|
||||
[[how-are-these-drivers-different-from-what-is-shipped-with-rhel]]
|
||||
How are these drivers different from what is shipped with RHEL?
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The RPMs from the stable repository are the same driver builds as what
|
||||
is shipped in RHEL. However, the public drivers are not signed with
|
||||
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553976%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[Microsoft's
|
||||
WHQL signature].

|
||||

|
||||
How does lack of WHQL signature affect use of these drivers?
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
FIXME: Lack of WHQL signature causes windows to complain, need to
|
||||
explicitly document how
